I have no time to go through all the 134897 cdr-s/demos out there so you do the nasty job for me. I need recommendations for modern black metal/norsecore (no bestialfago) that offers strong musical content, bands that have the potential to one day be real classics in their own subgenre. In the vein of: Behexen, Watain, Funeral Mist, Ondskapt, Ofermod, Antaeus etc., you get the point: modern-but-still-oldschool stuff built on strong riffs and played by proper musicians with the right know-how. As you know I'm no friend of Mutiigaytion, Satanic Junkmaster, Moonblood & co. so avoid recommending generic sloppy "it's more than just music" LLN-worship shit or "atmospheric" crap with 10-min intros/outros.

A few more indications:

- Swedish and Finnish bands are preferred.
- NO Polish/Ukrainian/Belarusian neo-pagan/NS rubbish with or without flutes.
- Absolutely NO German bands either
- No bands with 38 consonants and dozens of "y" and "w" in their names, so spare me the whole Ancient Records band catalogue. I need to be able to pronounce the fucking band name without going through an ischemic attack with tingling mouth symptoms.
- No tapes. Bands need to have at least one studio album, I do not need poorly recorded confused garage shit.
- No artsy-fartsy, progressive post-DSO junk either: stubborn orthodox devil-worship exclusively

As a reference, three years ago I had the chance to see Cavus (fin) live and I was impressed with what I saw. Something along those lines would be cool for a start. Again, please don't turn the thread into a 6-page list of generic UG shit, it's not what I'm looking for. Mention ONE band that you think satisfies the requirements above and that you consider the one big hope for the future of the genre._________________Permabanned
